Seven Things I Love About November

Can you believe it’s November already?  I say that with every new month, but really, I think someone has pressed fast forward on life lately.  Nothing to do but roll with it and enjoy. Pass the schnapps!

Seven Things I Love About October

I would be hard pressed to find something I don’t love about this lovely fall month, but here are a few highlights. Especially the chimney smoke wafting through cold air, is there anything better?

P.O.D.D.

What’s that? Back to regular programming?  Sorry, but, I seem to have come down with a rather severe case of Post Olympic Despondency Disorder. It’s not quite as bad as the mean reds, but it still requires a proper sulky mope and a cookie or twelve. Might pull the phone out of the suitcase this afternoon, but really can’t make any promises.

It’s Finally Here!

It’s safe to say that I am way beyond excited for these Olympic Games to start! My favorite world event, in one of my all time favorite places. I may burst. If the buzz about the opening ceremony is any indication it’s going to be a great night. Let the games begin!

Happy Weekend

Rumor has it this weekend the temperature will finally be cool enough to enjoy some alfresco seafood feasting.  So you can find me sitting on patios with lobster cracker in hand and a smile on my face for the next two days, with a brief excursion west to the British food import store. At which point my anglophilia will be on full display as I geek out over authentic British snacks for the Olympics opening ceremony  ( I can not begin to tell you how excited I am!). Have a wonderful time friends, see you next week!
